Prior to entering the oil drilling industry, Petrello had a career in math and law. He attended Yale University as a young man and looked into a career as a mathematician, and even was a protégé of mathematician Serge Lange. He moved from mathematics to law and practiced in corporate affairs as an attorney for Baker & McKenzie.

His expertise in financial law was what prompted Nabors Industries to bring him to their executive board.

Anthony Petrello is also on the boards of Stewart & Stevenson, Hillcorp Energy and the Texas Children’s Hospital. He has a young daughter who has cerebral palsy and though no treatment has yet existed for her, Petrello decided to help the research team at Dan & Jan Duncan Neurological Research Institute with research funding.

Don Ressler is the co-founder and the CEO of Internet mega-brand JustFab. He worked together with Adam Goldenberg to found this website that is designed for convenience and ease of use. It is a site that is made for women who want to be able to truly enjoy their own sense of style and fashion without having to worry about going to the store and trying on clothes that they will likely end up hating in the long run. The site acts as a personal shopper for women who want to find new clothes and want to have a new outfit in their wardrobe each month.

When women go to the JustFab site, they are first asked some information about themselves. This helps the site to determine whether they will be a good fit and where to send the items to. They are then instructed to answer some easy quizzes. These include choices of different clothes on bloomberg.com, lifestyle questions and even things about the way that they like their clothing to fit.

Women are not restricted only to the offerings that the JustFab site has. There are other brands that fall under the JustFab name including Fabletics and ShoeDazzle on entrepreneur.wiki. Fabletics is a site that is dedicated to fashionable athletic wear while ShoeDazzle is for women who just want to receive a fresh, new pair of shoes each month. All of the divisions of the JustFab brand are set up in the same way. They are subscription services that are intended to make life easier for the women who want to be able to use them each time they visit the site.

Now that JustFab has expanded as a brand and now that they have so many subscribers, they are able to have a great deal of success according to Don Ressler. This success has led them to look elsewhere from the Internet for different selling opportunities. Their latest idea? Start a flagship store. The store is set up different than most stores and gives women the chance to see what all JustFab has to offer while still getting the same convenience that is found online. The brand is working to ensure that the physical store is successful and plans to open more if it is.

Eric Pulier has come up with quite a few technological ideas over the last 27 years or so, and he is still working behind the scenes doing so today. No, he may not share the same limelight that Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have held in their time, but he has been a part of some intriguing developments in the IT world. Pulier has a passion for young people, and he’s been a part of some programs like Starbright World, and now Xprize that have helped foster the development of young people, and encouraged them to come up with ideas that can change the way technology is used in people’s lives.

Pulier started his career in computer technology after graduating from Harvard in the late 1980s. He wanted the programs he developed to make a real difference in social, environmental, and health issues, so in 1991 he became involved in a Los Angeles-based non-profit group that did just that. His first big successful IT company was Digital Evolution, a company that became a prominent interactive media firm, and would merge with several other companies over the years. Pulier also was interested in cloud computing and developing platforms that would become integrated over cloud-based infrastructure. Some even hit the scene before their time like Akana, Desktone, and eventually a full-scale cloud enterprise management system called ServiceMesh that was eventually bought out by CSC.

In fact, not long after Bill Clinton won re-election in 1996 Pulier got the opportunity to head up Bridge to the 21st Century, as part of the televised Presidential Technology Exhibition in Washington. The Bridge to the 21st Century exhibit featured prototypes of future consumer products that would revolutionize everyday American lives, but it also included a live streaming communication to the Astronauts on the space shuttle that had launched not long before.
